1964 Dodge 880 - Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit - Class IV - Economy
- Tube-Fin Cooler
- 15-1/4W x 10T x 3/4D Inch
- With 11/32 Inch Hose Barb Inlets
- Derale
- Standard Mount
15-1/4" Wide x 10" tall x 3/4" deep, reliable, all-aluminum tube-and-fin cooler extends the life and improves overall functioning of your Dodge 880's transmission.
Features:
- Improves functioning and overall performance of transmission
- Extends life of transmission and prolongs period between necessary fluid changes
- Cuts down on heat-related failures
- Agitates fluid with built-in, embossed turbulators for more efficient cooling
- Constructed of durable, lightweight aluminum
- Thermal-conductive metal provides excellent transfer of heat
- Includes:
- High-temperature, OEM spec hose with stainless steel clamps
- Nylon mounting rods
- Insta-dapt radiator adapter
- Recommended for full-size cars, trucks and SUVs
- Imported
Specs:
- Inlets: 11/32" hose barb
- Overall dimensions: 15-1/4" wide x 10" tall x 3/4" deep
- Core width: 12-1/4"
- Distance between inlets: 8-3/4"
- 1-Year warranty
Note: The Derale Insta-dapt radiator adapter fits most vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines, but not all. In some cases, additional fittings or alteration of the OEM lines or hoses may be required for installation.
Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. Quick, easy and effective.

I put the transmission cooler on a 2006 ram 2500 it keeps it 30° cooler than the OEM transmission cooler
by: Mason10/11/2023
Works solidly, much better than the optional stock tranny cooler. It doesn't get temps as low as another one I've had, but it doesn't leak like that one either! Always keeps temps within acceptable range, though at the higher end of acceptable when pulling 7-8k in 110*F outside temps and hills. Be prepared to fabricate a mount for it, not a one size fits all kit!

I was able to mount it but never able to actually install it and hook it up completely.

2008 Nissan Titan
i put this unit in my 2008 NIssan Titan pickup. we are going to take a 9000 mile trip this summer pulling a 27 ft HI Lo camper. The instructions were very generic. specific unit instructions would be very helpful. the grill was difficult to get out until i found a Youtube video for that. the hose provided was to short, so I made a run to the parts store. the unit appears to be well made.

I used this cooler on a 2004 Chevy Silverado. The accessories were not needed because I needed longer hoses and fabricated my own mounting. I think the hose clamps and the hoses could be better quality. The cooler does work very well.

Super easy install. With the installation video on Youtube it took out any of the guess work. The hose could stand to be about 3" - 5" longer if you are going to center in the A frame of an older chevy grill (I have an 06 Avalanche. I had to offset to the passenger side to use the supplied hoses) But, you can get a longer hose easy enough. Just ran over the pass and back and no leaks. Looks good so far!

This is a customer service review not a product review.
Leeza J. was very helpful in helping me get everything needed for adding a secondary transmission cooler to my Chevy truck. I ordered 3 different items and the one item was not in stock and I was promised that I would be notified when it arrived. I was notified that the item was in stock 2 days later and I received the package a few days after that. Very good service that impressed me.

by: Donald01/30/2013
2002 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
Easy install. But hoses need to be longer. I had to go to napa to purchase an extra 3 ft. The hose clamps that were included were limited to the amount of tension that were put on them. They would tighten to x amount then just spin. I had to purchase extra hose clamps that actually tightened.
Impressed overall.

Great cooler upgrade for my 1997 GMC Yukon! Little delivery damage, but was so easy to bend those fins back to original shape so no worries!
Nice that you had proper dimension measurements online, so it was easy to figure out what kind I can fit in my truck. Complete kit had everything I needed to get it done!
Modified old cooler bracket little bit and that was it. Works great!
by: Vinny from Marrero La.08/15/2023
Removing the front bumper/grill on my Odyssey was a must! Installation was pretty much straight forward once you confirm the feed, and return connection points. Mounting the actual cooler to the front radiator was the easiest part of the job. My Odyssey made two 650 mile trips pulling 2050 lbs with no problems so I’m very happy with the cooler!

- Best Transmission Cooler for a 2018 Chevy Silverado 4.3L V6Since your 2018 Chevy Silverado has the smallest engine of that model year, I recommend the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit item # D12903. This is our largest transmission cooler for the 4.3L V6 engine with dimensions of 15-1/4" wide x 7-1/2" tall x 3/4" deep. This cooler will do a great job of keeping your transmission from getting hot when pulling a trailer with your Silverado or just daily driving. The Derale Cooler is made of lightweight aluminum. I have linked a picture...

- Determining Transmission Return Line To Add Transmission Cooler on 2020 Ram 1500 On your 2020 Ram 1500, the best way to determine which line is the return line on your transmission is to start the engine while the engine is cold and put the shift lever in drive for 10 seconds. Then return the shifter to park, stop the engine and remove keys. You will then be able to identify the return line by feeling both the supply and return lines because the sending line will be warm and the return line will still be cold.
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Coolers for a 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty 7.3 Liter V-8Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, but there are some that are recommended for your 2001 Ford F-250. The Derale, # D13502 is one of them. Basically, regardless of a super cool feature, you will need to choose a transmission cooler based on where you can mount it. The most efficient place is between the grille and AC condenser core(position A on the picture to the right). The second most efficient place is between the condenser and radiator(position B). In this position, it...

- Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2004 Chevy 2500HDI recommend the Derale 19-Row Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit, # D13403. This fits most vehicles with the 5/16" transmission lines, but I recommend adding the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM # D13035. This adapter allows you to easily connect the radiator to the transmission cooler. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below along with installation instructions.

It fits vehicles with 5/16" transmission lines and enters the radiator with a threaded connector. If you do not want to remove the fitting from your radiator you will want to use the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM item # D13035. I recommend purchasing the second adapter. I would be nervous and messing with a fitting that old. This kit also includes an OEM...

The most efficient place to mount the cooler is between the grille and the AC condenser. The included fasteners look like wire ties and go through the cooler and the component it is mounted to. On the other side, you will place a spacer and then the button lock to hold it in place. The last part of installation is to make the connections with the...
view full answer... - Transmission Cooler for 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Pickup Towing 7000-lb Trailer LoadThe good news is that since transmission coolers are not vehicle-specific you are free to install as large a cooler as you have the room to install it. Coolers come in several class ratings depending on their cooling action; I suggest a Class IV cooler like the 11 x 12-inch Derale # 13504 you referenced or the larger 15 x 10 Derale # D12904. For either one you will use hose fitting kit # D13035. Two linked articles will give you lots of good background on transmission coolers and I've...
view full answer... - How Much Transmission Fluid to Add With Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler KitThank you for the purchase of the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit # D12904. In regards to the amount of fluid, there isn't a set amount to be added, it's on an as-needed basis. The added line means you'll have to put in more than you would if you didn't have the cooler, but the best thing to do really is to put it in a bit at a time and check the levels on the transmission fluid dipstick.

You will need to measure in the engine compartment of your 2008 Dodge Durango to make sure a cooler will fit. The most efficient mounting point is between the grille and AC condenser core. The next most efficient place is between the AC condenser core and the radiator (25 percent...

In this case it will be an upgrade to your current system rather than a direct replacement that is likely to deliver similar results to what you have now. I recommend adding the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit part # D12904 with the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting for GM part # D13035. Here you will use both your current cooler and add a great deal more cooling power to the system to keep...
view full answer... - Where is the Best Place to Mount a Transmission Cooler on a 1967 Ford GalaxieThe best place to mount an automatic transmission cooler such as # D12904 on your 1967 Ford Galaxie or any vehicle is in between the vehicle grille and the AC condenser core. Here it will get the most airflow and be the most efficient. The second best place is between the AC condenser core and the radiator. And third, between the radiator and fan. I have included a picture that should also help along with a link to our help article on transmission coolers.

- Transmission Cooler Compatible With The 5.3L V8 In My 2007 Chevrolet TahoeWe do carry a variety of Derale Transmission Coolers for your 2007 Chevy Tahoe. If you are looking for a class I Plate-Fin cooler, here it is # D13611. If you need a class II get the Derale Dyno-Cool Tube-Fin Cooler # D12906. There is a class III Plate-Fin available too, part # D13503 and also a class IV Tube-Fin # D12904. The difference between the Plate-Fin and Tube-Fin style is that the plate and fin models can cool better than the tube and fin models. Also, the higher the Class of...
view full answer... - Differences between the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler and the Dyno-Cool Transmission CoolerThe main difference between the Derale Series 8000 Transmission Cooler, # D13504, and the Derale Dyno-Cool Transmission Cooler, # D12904, is the construction. The Dyno-Cool cooler is a Tube-Fin style cooler has aluminum fins surrounding the tubes. The aluminum fins dissipate the heat from the transmission fluid in the tubes. The Series 8000 cooler is a Plate-Fin cooler. Plate-fin coolers are similar to tube-fin coolers, but they are more efficient. On these coolers the fluid is forced...
view full answer... - Most Efficient Transmission Cooler RecommendationDerale does not rate their transmission coolers in bTu but if you wanted a cooler that would work very well the Derale Stacked plate cooler # D54012 will be your best option. This is a stacked plate cooler which is the most efficient style by a long shot and is the biggest size we have at 13" Wide x 13-15/16" tall x 2" deep. While this may not be rated in bTu it would easily fit your 29,500 requirement.
view full answer... - Installing a Transmission Cooler in a 2005 Chevy Tahoe with 5.3 Liter EngineAll vehicles with an automatic transmission have a factory installed transmission cooler. It is usually located inside the radiator out of sight. The exception seems to be on some CVT transmissions or on certain vehicles where all the lines are hidden. There are lines going to and from the transmission for the fluid. A line goes from the transmission to the radiator and then back out to the transmission. When installing a supplemental cooler the flow will go from the transmission to the...

You would also need Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings, # D13025, for the 7.3 liter Powerstroke. Any transmission cooler will could essentially be considered a remote mount application. I have included a link to the coolers recommended for your truck and engine. I have also included a link to our transmission cooler FAQ article and a video showing a typical installation.

This will reflect the capacity of your specific pickup with the particular mix of equipment installed on it at the factory, including the 3.42 differential. I reviewed the online trailering guide on the Chevrolet website and at most a properly-equipped 1500 can tow 12,000-lbs. But your 5.3L V8 crew cab 4x4 with 3.42 differential is shown as...

If you are referring to the fittings on your factory transmission cooler in the radiator then they are 5/8". If you are referring to the Derale Insta-Dapt Radiator Adapter then this is a 1/2".

view full answer... - Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Sierra 4x4 1500I can tell you that the Derale Transmission Cooler Pan, # D14204, fits most 1982-1999 model 4L60Es transmissions. Some models may require a smaller transmission filter to get it to fit. It will not fit on all models. The overall depth of the pan is 3-5/8 inches and the distance to the the 5/8 inch diameter cooling tubes is 2-1/2 inches from the top of the pan. The exhaust has been determined to be a possible hindrance of installing this pan on models newer than 1999. If there were no components...
view full answer... - Recommended Transmission Cooler For 2012 Ford F-450When choosing a transmission cooler, the most important thing you want to know is where it will fit so that it will provide the maximum cooling possible. I have attached a drawing that shows the locations typically used for a transmission cooler and where the best location is if possible. As the drawing shows, if you can mount the cooler between your vehicle's grille and the AC condenser core you will gain the greatest efficiency. If your 2012 Ford F-450 is not a diesel, I recommend a...

- Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2012 Chevy TahoeBest option is to go with a supplemental cooler installed after your factory cooler as this will maximize the cooling of the fluid. For that your best option is the Derale part # D13504 which is a very efficient and larger cooler that will get your transmission fluid temperatures down into a range that will maximize the life of it. Adding a fan would not be needed as the cooler alone will make a big enough difference.

This product measures 15-1/4 inches Wide x 10 inches tall x 3/4 deep. Transmission coolers are not too hard to install. I have installed a couple of them and they were not too bad at all.

You will need to measure to see if you will have room on your snowmobile to mount the cooler. We do not have an aluminum tube fin cooler as small as the Derale # D13212 cooler that you referenced.
